covered all over with clay, broken bricks
and cobble stones. NJ. 0'Brien had on a
tall hat which furnished good target.
Mr.. Wall was on his right and Kilbride
and Mulligan on his left. "Look out,
O'Brien" shouted Wall, "the stones are
coming, it's Belfast over again."
ooh, It's all right" replied o Brien. at
would be better for Lansdowne IL they let
us alone"
AS he spoke volley of bricks and cob
ble-stones came flying from the center OF
but snoeRiDg the pl st 'A off
sn adjacent wall. Shouts OF "To
hell with the Pope" "Kill the
traitor" and so ON rose high above the din.
The 0'Brien party were still on the side
walk and the Orangemen throDged the
streets. ID. 7. Kellogg, reporter of the
New York Sun, now rushed behind OBrien
and was about to warn him when a stone
struck O'Brien's hat and knocked it off.
Wall, who was standing by his side,
lifted his head to look in the direction
whence the missiles came, when huge
stone struck him on the side Of the head
and tumbled him heels over head. He
reeled into Johnson's Lane, a little alley
running off Bay street, and fell'upon heap
of stones. Dennis Kllbride, Mr.. Teefey,
treasurer of the National League, and Mr..
Mann, the Telegram reporter, lifted him
up and carried him into Hooper's
drug store where his wounds were dressed,
and he was then helped to the Rossin
House. The cut made by the stone is two
inches long and slightly above left temple.
''Take care of this man." said Mr.. Teefy,
addressing policeman, ''he is wounded"
Let him take care of himself" re-
turned the policeman" WHAT do they
want here2"
Mr.. 0'Brien and his friends then turned
into Wellington street. the stones still fly
ing and the yells and groans louder, ii
possible, than ever. Mr.. O. Brien attempted
to take refuge in Sharp's laundry, and
falling in that, rushed into the
bicycle store of Mr.. Taylor, Jr.,
adjoining. A volley of stones
shattered the windows and the mob burst
into the store. yelling like demons and
showeriDg missiles in the direction which
Mr.. Brien had taken toward the end of
the store. Some ladies and old
men sore AIMED and tainted, while
the mob tumbled helter.skelter
over bicvcles and other machinery,
smashing them one against the other In
their savage fury and amid cries of "Kill
the traitor" ''hang him." ''Landsdowne
forever" O'Brien, however, was safely led
away by an ITishman, an official of the
Crown Land Department, and reached
the hotel in safety. ID. p. Ca
hill was knocked down and received
two dangerous cuts from broken bottles,
and more than score of other persons
were more or less seriously injured
The mob seemed satlated. Mr.. Lalor's
store was completely wrecked and several
hundred dollars worth of his property de-
stroyed. Two more policemen appeared,
making tour in all in the presence Of
crowd of fully 1000 rioters, who had pos
session of the streets for at least half an
hour, throwing bricks and cobble stones at
the group Of unarmed men.
Treasurer Teefy, of the local branch OF
the league, sent out the following telegram
TO the leaders of the league in New York
and Chicago:
"O'Brien mobbed in the streets OF To-
ronto by OraDgemen; ]. NJ. Wall, of the
New York Tribune, seriously wounded"
Police Sergeant Adair got a cut in the
head, and when his three comrades saw
this they moved away to respectful dis
lance and let the mob do as they
pleased. Up to midnight the neigh
borhood of the ROssin House was
filled with the mob, who groaned and yelled
to their hearts content, but as there was
not at any time an opposing mob, the
abuse each other and fight among them
selves, and dispersed at last with cries Of
Hang O'Brien!" Away with the trail
torw and GOD save the Queen"
Mr.. Brien said to the Associated Press
representative: ''Lansdowne has now done
bis worst. His policemen absolutely sur
rendered us to the mob, and had we not
taken refuge in the bicycle shop, we would
have been killed"
